The Canon IR5055 IR5065 printer driver connects your Windows computer to the printer, allowing applications to send documents with the correct print settings. Installing a compatible Canon driver helps you manage paper selection, page layout, and other printing options available on your device.

Key Features

• Reliable print communication: Enables Windows applications to submit print jobs to the Canon IR5055 or IR5065 using a compatible driver.
• Flexible document settings: Provides controls for paper size, orientation, copy count, and duplex printing when supported and configured.
• Access to installed options: Can expose additional paper sources and finishing settings, depending on the printer’s hardware and the driver package selected.
• Windows printing integration: Makes printer preferences available through standard Windows print dialogs for convenient use across office applications.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version and system type. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, choose a package that explicitly supports both your operating system and the Canon IR5055 IR5065. Confirm whether your system requires a 32-bit or 64-bit driver; compatibility can vary between packages.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer and make sure your computer can reach it. For a network installation, obtain the printer’s IP address from its network settings or ask your administrator.

1. Download and extract the driver. Save the compatible Canon package to your computer. If it is compressed, extract its contents before starting installation, and review any included setup instructions.

1. Install and select the printer. Run the installer and follow its prompts, granting administrator permission if requested. If no installer is included, use the Windows Add Printer wizard and browse to the extracted driver files when asked.

1. Confirm settings and print a test page. Open the printer’s properties, check the connection or port, and configure any installed paper trays or finishing accessories. Print a test page to verify that the driver communicates with the device correctly.

If the printer appears offline after installation, check its network address and selected Windows printer port before reinstalling the driver. A changed IP address or an incorrect port can prevent printing even when the driver is installed successfully.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Remove older Canon imageRUNNER drivers first, stop the Print Spooler service, then reinstall the correct IR5055/IR5065 UFR II or PCL driver as administrator.
• Device not detected: Confirm the copier’s IP address and that it is awake; add it as a TCP/IP printer port instead of relying on WSD discovery, and verify SNMP is enabled.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall duplicate Canon IR5055/IR5065 entries in Devices and Printers, clear leftover ports, and install one matching driver version for all users to avoid mixed PCL/UFR II queues.
